Sports CookBook

Chase Utley, the Phillie’s heady second basement, ranged onto the outfield grass behind the bag, speared a hard grounder, cleverly faked a throw to first and then cut down the runner trying to score. The Phillies in five! A quality closing of the book that saved what was developing into a disaster of errors and bad thinking that might otherwise have constituted our memories of the 2008 World Series between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.
